What is being bought

Published requirement description

Porthcawl Town Council invites quotations from suitably experienced and qualified sports turf contractors for the

provision of end-of-season renovation, winter maintenance, pre-season preparation and in-season maintenance

services for the bowling green at Griffin Park, New Road, Porthcawl.

The Council's objective is to maintain the green in a healthy, disease-free and well-aerated condition throughout

  • Green dimensions: approximately 40m x 40m, providing a standard six-rink bowling green.
  • Current turf condition: generally average to good, with minor moss issues. The green edges require reseeding

and dressing to address bare patches.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
